The abundance of nature in Kuching was a welcomed contrast for a Hong Konger.

My love and I decided to go on at least one hike before our summer vacation was over and we chose to do Maunawili Falls. Located at the east side of the island of Oahu, Hawaii, this hike is relatively easy, short, and ends in a fantastically refreshing waterfall and swimming hole!

This waterfall is cool, the water flushing is really strong and fun. The idea of going to this waterfall is to get the total jungle adventures kind of feeling.
